Amazon swoops in with the price match. I wish I had waited. Amazon won't shake me down for a donation going out the door.

Should there be any concern about Amazon sending a fake? The other deal is from shun so you're not getting a fake there?

You can get it on shun direct if Amazon is sold out.

I'm thinking about the Nakiri...

Great deal. I think I got mine for around the same price like 6 years ago. I also have a VG10 shun and noticed that VGMax steel seems to hold it's edge much longer. It's a thinner blade so if you want something more robust, go German. I have a few large German chef knifes but default to the Shun. It slices much better. The thin blade is pretty much good for anything other than bone.

This deal is part of Shun's warehouse sale ending Sept. 11 night. Here's a link to the rest of the deals in case anyone is interested:

Thanks OP. Pretty solid deal and I happen to have the blonde Santoku from Shun already so kind of matching aesthetically.
Recommend as a good entry-level premium knife for home chefs. Chef's knife is probably the most versatile option and Shun makes good consumer-grade knives. Japanese steel is hard and holds its edge, just a bit more susceptible to chipping

Thanks OP. I grabbed one.

FYI, I have few Shun knives. Shun VG10 or VG-max may be a bit on chippy side; but, when well cared and used, they are awesome. For no-nonsense daily use, I use German or Taiwanese knives.

I bought one with a different wood for the handle a few years ago. Excellent knife.
